Right, by releasing the code they're saying "here's some nice code, do what you want with it", but not "oh and we're increasing our investment into this product by expanding the team" which is what adding

Also, presumably, a big space advantage. Using an existing tunnel network should be easier than having to build a giant building or dig out new tunnels.

Yeah, I'm currently a grad student so there's definitely some bias haha. The kind of question I had in mind would be along the lines of "say you have a tree, how could you find the nearest common ancestor of two nodes in that

I've often thought about this, and based on my own experiences this is the process I would like: 1. Test language-specific knowledge - it's not a bad thing to not know all the small quirks or details of a language since they'

Hal Daumé III has an excellent self-published textbook online. Easy to follow, pleasantly formatted, well-written, and best of all, totally free. http://ciml.info/

This example in the article seems particularly bad to me: "Some Athlon laptops have really hugged PST tables" Without knowing that f-word -> hug was a thing this would be a really confusing comment because it doesn't hav

Not sure about the corporate sector, but it certainly seems to at least have an impact on American politics. Some 2014 statistics [0] have the average age of representatives and senators at 57 and 62, and several current senators have serve

It sounds like his pay as a "professor, post-tenure" was reduced to 49% of what it was before, so it's almost certainly a money problem.

What I've read is that crows are smart for the same reason that dolphins are smart ("social intelligence"). Crows also tend to live in flocks/groups, unlike many other bird species. Not a great source, but here's an

I get where you're coming from, but I wouldn't say it's not autopilot's fault "at all". The blame on autopilot is ascribed to the fact that it's called autopilot, not that it's lacking in functionalit

Not sure if this is what OP used, but the Google Translate app is nearing sci-fi levels of accuracy and speed. The conversation function is good enough that you can talk with someone while both using different languages and actually underst

I think the "enjoyment" doesn't come from thinking that you passed some test, but rather, that you were allowed in while (it's implied that) others might not be let in. It makes it feel a little more exclusive, like you

Are you working with a professor on other things? They are probably interested in seeing what you have. As a grad student you're definitely in a position to reach out to someone relevant and ask them what they think about your work. If

You can look at it from another point of view: elevators have so many safety mechanisms nowadays that they can fall 84 floors and still not cause any injuries to their passengers.

Somewhat related: One of my favorite Youtube channels is Rambalac. It's just videos of walking through various places in Japan, from crowded streets to peaceful natural areas. No voiceover or explanations - almost every video is as if

You seem to know what you're talking about - do you know what the end goal of the work in this field is? Is it working towards nuclear fusion as an energy source?

I hadn't heard of it before so forgive me if I get something wrong. Two main thoughts: 1. It sounds like, to implement a robust program (and not just a pattern in Excel), you'd need to provide every different combination of input&

Always thought it was super interesting/smart that they even implemented functionality just to make this easier, i.e. an extra textbox only they could see that let them set a username for comments they right.

Wow, is this the original source? Such a low view count for what I feel is a very interesting look into a more casual Bill Gates. This seems much more spontaneous than the usual videos we see of him, and it's pretty cool to see the kin

Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but if it's not a rush you can probably do it manually. 8k is not so much, you can probably go through it with a couple minutes a day for a few weeks, or within a week if you take like 30 m

Totally agree with you - I like Java precisely because it's so verbose. I'd rather have to type 20% more than spend 20% more time figuring out other people's code. And honestly, I always feel that the Hello World example is k

You really should be using a logging framework instead though, if you're working on a large application.

I think what rmk is suggesting is that this guy's job doesn't really sound like a job that deserves a VP title (especially if your previous manager wasn't a VP). So, the title of "VP" may have been included as an in

I'm not sure about any algolia problems, but is there any specific reason you don't want to just use Google? (that's what I use to search HN) If you tack on "site:ycombinator.com" it generally works great for site-s

A basic start: bigger font size, drop the underscore (text-decoration: none), change the font color to black or dark gray. You can do a lighter color on hover to make it clear it's a link. Not perfect, but I think it's better than

Hovered over the words with my dictionary extension to find that they're also referred to as "jabberwocky words" which I personally think is a more apt name. Interestingly, the dictionary also gives them readings. I wonder ho
